on them. i think the frustrations that i have heard from both tenants who issue complaints and landlords is they should know where is the movement? so if it comes to us, if we issue an nov, then i feel like we need to move on it whether it's movement towards resolution or movement up further to, you know, to director's hearing or whatever. because that's been kind of the frustration from whether it's a building owner with violations or whether it's a tenant who complained and then our housing division issued a violation. is that they didn't get the sense that there is movement. so sometimes there is not just the time, but as long as they feel it's moving, then, it's less of

a mystery or stress about it. >> two things that have happened in that front over the last few months. dan has instructed that we assign one inspector in full time and code enforcements cleaning up the abatement language for a while and maybe in a position to close the case. but it brought us the sign -- we want to spend full time doing that and over the last few months where the abatement was issued and the case could have been closed but we weren't aware because it wasn't brought to our attention. the other thing that has happened is our staff has been increased in code enforcement. the number of guidance dealing with complaints in the third floor have gone from 1-2. what's happening now is cases that are getting a second order have

come to us quicker. we get a staff received for healing. over the next few months when this report continues, you are going to see cases going from first to second quicker, going to hearings quicker and issued quicker and having the $52 fear where property owners when they realize they are going to pay an on going fee every month, they are going to resolve their cases quicker. cases go from start to finish at a quicker cycle. i think tenant direction has initiated a lot of these and you are going to see a shorter cycle from beginning to end. >> it kind of talks back to where the commissioner lead the data because i'm with you, now that we have this data, we might be able to see that

movement that we are talking about. >> of course we have old cases. they are just like the cases you heard this morning. they are very difficult. you have one owner and you have a tenant, they don't have access, there is eviction and they might have to do this work, there is death in the family, there is sickness and a lot of problems we have to deal with all the time. we use our direction is. a -- discretion. we get compliant but it takes time. when they have hardship involved we want to work with them. we don't just want to crucify them. >> we are going to have to be smarter in how we approach these nov's and start categorizing them as we understand them as those types of situations where you can't move them period. i think this is where this is going. the conversation is going to continue. thank you deputy

director for bringing that and acting director for putting that together. we look forward to seeing that on a regular basis. >> we look forward to putting that in the data that you need. >> thank you. >> any public comment on items or the director's report 12 a through 12 b? seeing none, item 13, commissioner questions and matters. at this time commissioners may make inquire easy to staff regarding documents, policies and practices and procedures which are of interest. >> mr. chairman, i wonder if there is any particular celebration of miss levine's leaving us and if we'll be invited to the celebration? >> i will let you all know.

>> you are mind reading today. >> good morning, i'm gail rebels. i'm the acting financing manager. you will get an invitation. there is an e-mail going out today. >> item 13 b future meetings and agendas. at this time the commission may discuss to set action on a meeting and decide to place items on the agenda of those meetings. as was mentioned earlier, our next regular meeting is on september 18th. however we are having special meetings on september 5, 9:00 a.m.. >> i just want to reinforce all of our commissioners will be

[ applause ] >> let's talk a little bit about this library. it's going to be 60% larger than the other library that sits over there. 60% larger. that means more books, more media, wonderful technology, wi-fi access. if you envision this space and if you look that way you have a wonderful adult area. as you walk in from the mason street side, you have an amazing teen center for all the young adults. absolutely. yelling back here, [ applause ] . that was our deputy city librarian, what can we say? a wonderful space for children. this north beach library serves over 30,000 diverse residents

[ applause ] the. so throughout this ceremony, we're going to

celebrate and pay tribute to all of the wonderful folks that are making it happen. so without further ado, person that not only has prior director of public works, city administrator and now wonderful mayor for our city; who has been terrifically supportive of our city, mayor ed lee. [ applause ] >> how is everybody doing? [ applause ] [ applause ] well let me begin by saying luis, congratulations but you know, when you are as successful as you are have been with the library commission it's like winning the first world series. we're not just satisfied with one project, even though there are 24 of these that have been completed with this one, and the proper use of our library bonds program from beginning from the year 2000 with the great partnership of dpw and so

forth. there are more great partnerships to be guilt because guess what we're doing with the bonds that publicly improves, we're honoring these kids' future. this is a place where there is going to be invent, sharing, yes, exploring, meeting, oh, gosh, what else did we miss? >> meeting. >> instructor: yes, meeting and sharing and exploring and inventing and reading. of course. we're just going to have so much of this and i'm so happy to be working with the supervisors who also know this. because we're working together on things that you believe in. and i'm waiting for the chance, when board president chiu and scott wiener have their kids and when they come to north beach branch library, they will remember this day, when they bring their kids up to the front and say mayor lee and

luis herrera and everybody worked together to get this done. and, by the way, more is to come when we all work together. because today is about a confirmation, the biggest thanks goes to the parents and residents of north beach. ten years it took us to get to this place. a lot of ups and downs and winding and turning. [ applause ] and if it wasn't for people like julie and others, who i met years ago and we looked each other in the eye when i was at dpw and we said we're going to get this done and make it even a better libraries, because libraries are centers for our communities. they are seismically safe. they are going to have the most modern equipment for our kids to grow up and promise all of the things that we promised for them to do to become even better residents.

the things that keeps me going and everybody else goes in collaboration, we're doing it for you. it's not about us. it's not about announcements, about things that are politically smart for us to do. it's about the future of this city. and with these 24 branches, and now the smart thing to do, connect up with great parks. yes. [ applause ] because the vision, julie didn't have a vision of just having a great center library; right? our neighborhoods aren't just going to accept that to be the end. it's to connect it up with world-class parks. that is what prop b is about and why we work together and mohammed comes in and smooths out columbus avenue. because i just road that street and it feels like a construction road [ laughter ] we have got to get all of these roads built and this is what scott wiener and

others works on:we have the opportunity to unite everybody and it's up to us in government to have listened carefully, and be responsible with your money and get the job done. are we ready to get the job done? >> yes! are we ready to build the future for your kids? >> yes. >> are we ready to support the great parks in san francisco with proposition b? >> yes! let's go forward and keep another world series and escambia keep our san francisco successful! thank you, mr. mayor, we're going to have a celebration this morning. he reminded me it's about community spaces too. so take a moment and look up. look up. because that is where the meeting room will be on the second floor with after-hour access for all the poets and all the kids' story times and various activities. it's going to be fantastic.
